Has anyone read it yet? http://www.alexfoundation.org/Alex_and_me.html
Just got it from amazon yesterday and can't wait to read it.
Not yet but it's on my list of things to do (order it first) but first since I'm taking a course starting next week, I need to see how that goes. Knowing myself, I will put my schooling asside to read her book since it's more interesting then what I'm taking. :whistle:

When I first read this sentence I thought it said, "Just got an amazon yesterday..." :whistle:

I bought this book for my brother at christmas. I read it before I wrapped it so I wouldn't have to "borrow" it. It's very good. Amazing the struggle she has gone through for research and what Alex learned & taught Dr. Pepperburg. Bit of a warning - don't forget the kleenex :whistle:

I'm sure Ditto likes the fact you bought a new book and not a new bird!
How are you liking the book?

i took it on vacation with me - just got back yesterday from the Caribbean - and it's great. i finished it quickly - while I always liked reading about Alex, there was a lot more to the working and personal relationships than I knew.

I am almost finished reading it...i have maybe 2 chapters to go. Its a wonderful book so far..very well written, thought provoking, humorous at times. I agree that you should have kleenex on stand-by! Everytime I put down this book I want to get my little man out and kiss him.

Where did you go in the carribean?? We went on a trip there too a couple of years ago for two weeks to St. Martin, it was really nice and they had this great zoo there with tons of birds and parrots! I hope you went snorkelling.....it was one of the things I enjoyed the most!
Eventually I want to get the book too, but I've just been busy with other things.....maybe my boyfriend will get it for me for my birthday if I suggest it! :nyah:

pip's mom - We went on a cruise, so we visited Ochos Rios, (Jamaica) Grand Cayman and Cozumel. We did go snorkeling, quite a bit, and my husband actually went scuba diving a few times. The water is clear blue, stunning, and the fish and coral was unbelievable. it was our first time in that area, and we can't wait to go back! :)
